Identify the zeros of the function f(x) = 2x^2 − 4x + 5 using the Quadratic Formula

Nostrana [21]3 years ago

For this case we have that by definition, the roots, or also called zeros, of the quadratic function are those values of x for which the expression is 0.

Then, we must find the roots of:

2x ^ 2-4x + 5 = 0

Where:

a = 2\\b = -4\\c = 5

We have to:x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}

Substituting we have:

x = \frac {- (- 4) \pm \sqrt {(- 4) ^ 2-4 (2) (5)}} {2 (2)}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {16-40}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {-24}} {4}

By definition we have to:

i ^ 2 = -1

So:

x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {24i ^ 2}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {24}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm i \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 6}} {4}\\x = \frac {4 \pm 2i \sqrt {6}} {4}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Thus, we have two roots:

x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Answer:

x_ {1} = \frac {2 + i \sqrt {6}} {2}\\x_ {2} = \frac {2-i \sqrt {6}} {2}

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 18.9 in and a base with a
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The volume of the cone is:

  • <u>112.6 cubic inches.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

You should know that the volume of a straight circular cone is equal to:

  • Cone volume = (1/3) PI * r ^ 2 * h

Where:

<em>r = radius. </em>

<em>h = height. </em>

Since the radius and diameter are not provided in the exercise but the circumference, the circumference formula should be used and the diameter must be cleared:

  • Circumference = PI * Diameter.

When clearing you get:

  • Diameter = circumference / PI

By replacing the data you get:

  • Diameter = 15 inches / PI
  • Diameter = 4.77 inches.

Since the radius is equal to half the diameter, then the diameter is equal to 2,385 inches, now having the value of radius we proceed to replace in the volume formula:

  • Cone volume = (1/3) PI * 2.385 in^2 * 18.9 in
  • Cone volume = 112.581541 in^3
  • <u>Cone volume = 112.6 in^3</u>
